Szudera said his office responded to a call at 6:24 p.m. Saturday reporting the crash. Montana Highway Patrol and emergency medical technicians from Havre also responded. The Highway Patrol said the initial report indicates the vehicle was headed west on U.S. 2 when it left the highway on the south side of the road. The vehicle rolled several times and the driver was ejected. Szudera said the medical personnel worked on Lowe at the scene, then transported him to the hospital. There was indication at the scene that another person may have been in the vehicle. Hill County Search and Rescue personnel conducted a search but were unable to find anyone, Szudera said.
